San Bernardino County Animal Care has teamed up with Priceless Pets to support the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program, aiming to humanely manage and support our community cat population.

What’s TNVR all about?
TNVR is a compassionate approach where community cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and then returned to their original outdoor homes. This method helps control the cat population, reduces health risks, and improves their overall well-being. It’s a win-win for the cats and our community!

How can you get involved?
If you’ve noticed community cats in your area and want to help, here’s what you can do:

  1. Identify eligible cats – Ensure the cats are free-roaming and not owned.
  2. Schedule an appointment – Contact Priceless Pets by calling or texting 909-662-1440 to schedule spaying/neutering and vaccinations.
  3. Trap the cats – Residents are responsible for safely trapping the cats and transporting them for their appointments.
  4. Refundable deposit – A $50 refundable deposit is required for each appointment, but don’t worry—the county covers the full cost of spaying, neutering and vaccinations.

By participating in the TNVR program, you’re playing a crucial role in creating a healthier environment for both our community cats and residents. Let’s work together to ensure these cats live healthier, happier lives while keeping our neighborhoods balanced.

Together, we can make a positive impact on our community’s well-being and the lives of our feline neighbors!
